Louis Dreyfus is the latest grain operator to announce investments totaling more than $65 million this month.
In early December, Columbia Grain Inc., said it would invest as much as $45 million over the next 30 months to expand its Portland grain handling facility. Columbia Grain will expand its T-5 operation following a 25-year extension of its lease with the Port of Portland.
In 2011, Louis Dreyfus said the grain exporting facility processed a record amount of grain and that all elevators on the Columbia River system were operating at capacity, hinting at the need to expand capacity.
